We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research The Hair Follicle Bulge: A Niche for Adult Stem Cells
The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
research Electrophoretic variability in human hair: Comparative sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of body and head hair proteins
Keratin proteins are consistent across different hair types from the same person.
research The remarkable legacy of the K6/ODC mouse: mechanisms of polyamine-promoted tumorigenesis revealed

K6/ODC transgenic mice are effective for quickly identifying cancer-causing chemicals.
research Practical Guidelines for Evaluation of Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome
Loose anagen hair syndrome, often affecting young girls, can be diagnosed with a hair-pull test and usually gets better on its own, but severe cases may need treatment.
research The molecular basis of human keratin disorders
research The HOXC13-controlled expression of early hair keratin genes in the human hair follicle does not involve TALE proteins MEIS and PREP as cofactors
research Delayed epidermal permeability barrier formation and hair follicle aberrations in Inv-Cldn6 mice
